Today's Half-Marathon

I haven't been able to post for almost a month. My mother is in a skilled nursing facility. Spending time with her each day after work has taken my spare time. I had paid to run in the Huntington Beach (CA) Surf City 1/2 Marathon before her accident. I managed to put in some time to run in spite of the rain and my time limitations. Today was a beautiful day for running. I was able to finish in 2 hours 37 min. and 49 seconds. I'm feeling happy about that.

Unusual Stencil

This message was stenciled on a box below an electric meter. I spotted it as I was leaving skilled nursing facility where my mother is undergoing treatment.

Cheerful Patient

My mom is 84-years old, but she still has a positive outlook. She fell and fractured her hip, but she still is telling everyone how much God has blessed her.

Here's a view of the titanium rod and screw that the surgeon inserted into a femur to repair a hip fracture.
